By U.S. Army Public AffairsSeptember 19, 2024

WASHINGTON – Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth sent a letter to Congressional appropriators detailing the concerns and impacts of a six-month continuing resolution (CR) on the Army.

“The Army appreciates the opportunity to share its view on a six-month CR,” said Wormuth. “This CR would have significant consequences on the Army’s mission to maintain national security and the quality of life of our Soldiers and their families.”

Secretary Wormuth described how the CR would delay critical investments for recruiting, training, and capability development.

“The Army stands ready to work with Congress to support full and timely funding of the Army’s FY25 budget request through the swift passage of the FY25 Defense Military-Construction-Veterans Affairs Appropriations bills,” said Secretary Wormuth.
